A Thief Returns a Stolen Handbag to a Palestinian Woman — With an Apology
A person who commits theft can still show compassion, but the act of stealing is morally wrong regardless of the thief’s feelings toward others. A compassionate person might be moved to help someone in need, yet that does not make theft acceptable.This brings me to a recent story about a thief who returned a handbag he had stolen the day before, leaving behind a handwritten apology that deeply moved the woman. The note read: “Forgive me. I didn’t know you were Palestinian. If I had known, I wouldn’t have stolen from you.”
